AKINA Don Carlo is often considered Verdi’s most Wagnerian work. It makes use of the evolving structure of the Musiktheater, made so popular by Wagner, and introduces several motives that can be seen almost as Wagnerian leitmotifs. Verdi creates an entire political world set in Spain during the reign of Philip II. The opera follows four members of the Habsburg family: Philip II, King of all the world, son of an Emperor and ruler of a kingdom that “the sun never sets upon." Champion of the Catholic faith, devoted ruler and supporter of the Inquisition. This man rules his empire from a small room in the bowels of the Escurial palace. Likened by his enemies to a spider at the center of its web. At the time of the opera he has married three times. His current wife he married in spite of the fact that she had originally been promised to his son, Don Carlo. This marriage is one of the greatest burdens of his life. He does not know how to love. He is fiercely anti-protestant. His presence is felt oppressively in Flanders, a hot-bed of this new and troublesome movement. He has unleashed his armies and the Inquisition upon them. Elisabetta, Queen of Spain, daughter of Katharina de Medici and the King of France.

He has recently transitioned to tenor and is poised to make a name for himself singing Heldentenor repertoire. John created the role of Joseph deRocher for San Francisco Opera’s world premiere of Jake Heggie’s acclaimed Dead Man Walking (“a voice of ferocious power and insistence” – San Francisco Chronicle; “a deeply and powerfully affecting characterization”, The New York Times). John has performed the role more than 50 times in Europe and the USA, and can be heard in a live recording on Erato Disques. John debuted Verdi’s Rigoletto (“…a superb Verdi Baritone in John Packard - a seamless voice, with character and a gleaming upper register”, Opera Magazine) at the Hawaii Opera Theater in 2006, and has since performed the role for Shreveport Opera and Teatro Lirico d’Europa, and with Nickel City Opera in June 2010. John has performed Rossini’s Barber of Seville more than 50 times, most recently with Buffalo’s Nickel City Opera (“….John Packard is the best Figaro I have ever seen… his singing is lusty, on the mark and marvelously expressive. He even accompanies himself on the guitar” – The Buffalo News).

Although it is difficult to trace the origin of the French horn, it is generally accepted that it was developed in France during the 17th century • An outgrowth of the early primitive and the later sophisticated hunting horn, its value in the use of Fanfares was acclaimed during the reign of Louis XIII • It was also discovered that strange and wonderful musical effects could be had by inserting the hand in the bell • One of the first orchestral uses came in 1717 when Handel included the French horn in his score of the "Water Music" • The modern instrument embodies a main tube measuring approximately 7 feet 4 inches in length, coiled in circles and finally expanding into a widely flared bell • As the French horn lends its importance to the value of the modern symphony orchestra, so too does the trained and reliable insurance office develop a modern and sensible insurance program for business and personal accounts • We would welcome an opportunity to analyze your need for complete protection.
